Description

チップ管理システム及びチップ管理方法Chip management system and chip management method
　本発明は、チップ管理システム及びチップ管理方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a chip management system and a chip management method.
　カジノのような遊技施設において使用されるチップやトークンは不正行為やマネーロンダリングに利用される虞があるため、これらの不正行為を防止する必要がある。従来、遊技施設における不正行為を防止するために、有価価値が付与されるチップなどを管理するシステムが種々開発され、チップの発行、使用、交換などが管理されていた。 Since chips and tokens used in gaming facilities such as casinos may be used for fraudulent acts and money laundering, it is necessary to prevent these fraudulent acts. Conventionally, in order to prevent fraudulent activities in a gaming facility, various systems for managing chips and the like to which valuable value is added have been developed, and issuance, use, exchange, etc. of chips have been managed.
　例えば、カジノホールの各種遊技台において、遊技客を識別する登録ＩＤと有価価値とが記録された遊技チップが使用、流通され、かかる遊技チップの発行・遊技処理（ベット・回収・払戻）を通じてその流通過程での遊技履歴を管理するようにした遊技場管理システムが提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 For example, at various game stands in a casino hall, game chips in which a registration ID for identifying a player and a valuable value are recorded are used and distributed, and the game chips are issued and game processed (bet, collect, refund) through the game chips. A game hall management system that manages a game history in the distribution process has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
　また、各種の遊技機が設置された遊技施設と、各種の遊技機によって付与された遊技価値を記録する遊技価値記録機構と、遊技価値記録機構で記録した遊技価値に基づいて、特定賞品を提供する特定賞品提供機構と、特定賞品提供機構によって提供された特定賞品が前記利用施設において使用された後に、当該特定賞品の価値に対応した代金の決済を行う代金決済機構とを備え、利用施設が構築された特別区域内でのみ実施可能な賞品流通システムが提案されている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。 Also, based on the gaming facility where various gaming machines are installed, the gaming value recording mechanism that records the gaming value given by each gaming machine, and the gaming value recorded by the gaming value recording mechanism, a specific prize is provided. The specific facility for providing a prize and the specific facility provided by the specific system for providing a prize are used at the facility, and then the payment facility for performing payment for the value of the specific prize is provided. There has been proposed a prize distribution system that can be implemented only within the constructed special area (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

　しかしながら、従来の管理システムでは、遊技施設の外へのチップの意図的な持ち出しを防止することができず、不正行為を効果的に防ぐことができなかった。 However, with the conventional management system, it was not possible to prevent the chips from being intentionally taken out of the gaming facility, and it was not possible to effectively prevent fraud.
　また、遊技者が遊技施設の外へチップをうっかり持ち出して帰宅してしまったような場合には、チップに付与されていた有価価値が無駄になってしまうこともあった。 Also, if a player accidentally takes a chip out of the gaming facility and goes home, the valuable value given to the chip may be wasted.
　そこで、本発明は、意図的なチップの持ち出しやうっかりの持ち出しを防止することができ、チップに付与されていた有価価値が無駄にならないチップ管理システム及びチップ管理方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a chip management system and a chip management method capable of preventing intentional removal of a chip or inadvertent removal of a chip and preventing the valuable value assigned to the chip from being wasted. .
　本発明の一態様に係るチップ管理システムは、遊技施設におけるチップ管理システムであって、遊技施設に入退場する個人の本人認証を実行する本人認証装置と、個人に発行するチップを管理する管理サーバと、を備え、管理サーバは、本人認証された個人に対応づけられた特定口座に設定されている限度額の範囲内の所定の有価価値を付与したチップを当該個人に発行する機能と、遊技施設から退場する際に、個人に支給された仮想チップに残存する有価価値を特定口座に移行する機能と、を有する。 A chip management system according to an aspect of the present invention is a chip management system in a gaming facility, which includes a personal authentication device that authenticates an individual who enters and leaves a gaming facility, and a management server that manages chips issued to individuals. And the management server has a function of issuing to the individual a chip to which a predetermined valuable value within the limit amount set in the specific account associated with the authenticated individual is issued to the individual.

　例えば、特定口座管理部４４に対し、遊技者が遊技施設外に一時的に退出する場合に、仮想チップに残存する有価価値を、当該遊技者の特定口座１２に移行することなく、一時的に保管する機能を設けてもよい。遊技者は、ショッピングや食事のために、遊技施設外に数時間出た後、再び遊技施設に戻って遊技を継続したい場合がある。遊技施設外に一時的に出るような場合は、仮想チップに残存する有価価値を、当該遊技者の特定口座１２に移行するのではなく、システム側（ここでは、特定口座管理部４４）で一時的に預かるという形式をとることで、有価価値を無駄にすることなく、かつ、安全に有価価値を保管することができる。 For example, when the player temporarily leaves the game facility with respect to the specific account management unit 44, the valuable value remaining in the virtual chip is temporarily transferred to the specific account 12 of the player without being transferred. A function of storing may be provided. The player may want to return to the game facility and continue the game after spending several hours outside the game facility for shopping or eating. In the case of temporarily leaving the game facility, the valuable value remaining in the virtual chip is not transferred to the specific account 12 of the player, but temporarily on the system side (here, the specific account management unit 44). By taking such a form that the valuable value is stored, it is possible to store the valuable value safely without wasting the valuable value.
　なお、特定口座管理部４４は、当該遊技者が再入場してから所定時間以内（例えば、２４時間以内）に再入場があった場合には、一時的に預かっている有価価値を、仮想チップに戻す機能を備えている。さらに、特定口座管理部４４は、当該遊技者が再入場してから所定時間以内（例えば、２４時間以内）に再入場がなかった場合には、一時的に預かっている有価価値を、当該遊技者の特定口座１２に移行する機能を備えるようにしてもよい。なお、所定時間については、遊技者またはシステム側で適宜設定できるようにすればよい。 Note that the specific account management unit 44, when the player is re-entered within a predetermined time (for example, within 24 hours) after re-entry, the value temporarily stored is changed to a virtual chip. It has a function to return to. Further, if the player does not re-enter within a predetermined time (for example, within 24 hours) after the player re-enters, the specific account management unit 44 temporarily holds the valuable value that is kept in the game. You may make it equipped with the function to transfer to the person's specific account 12. The predetermined time may be set appropriately by the player or the system side.
　また、上記各実施形態では、特に言及しなかったが、遊技施設からの退出時に物理チップを無価値化するように構成してもよい。 Also, although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiments, the physical chip may be rendered worthless when leaving the gaming facility.
